Ryan Gordon 2. SDL2 still uses integers for mouse coordinates and time and stuff. :”( GLFW uses floats. (SDL3 is set to use floats) 4. If you are using OpenGL then GLFW will make your life a lot easier…

Voxels are increasingly becoming a more popular art form in recent years, although the technology has been around for two decades. Historically Voxels have seen seldom use in video games most notably Red Faction, Voxelstein 3D, and more recently Teardown. It’s with no secrecy that Voxels are predominantly popular among…

A great place to find and learn about activation functions is Wikipedia; however, over the years, the table of activation functions has fluctuated wildly, functions have been added and removed time and time again. You can view a list of historical changes to this particular Wikipedia page here. The first…

An age-old question, one I would imagine many new aspiring low-level to the metal programmers may ask and one I too once asked myself. It’s a question many may ask when they discover that in C or C++ a Boolean variable or ‘bool’ for short, is…

This December was a productive one. I set out a simple task for myself that I would produce a simple array of 3D games for the Linux software store Snapcraft. Albeit simple games starting from the 15th of December I managed to complete four by the 5th of January, 21…

Well it had been ten years James thought to himself, a project that he strived to perfect and yet to this day felt as though he had made some crucial errors along the way, while limiting the previous version to the Win32 API was intentional, some of the finer details…

Interpolation functions help turn low resolution discretely sampled signals back into their continuous counterparts. In this document we will be benchmarking the performance of a wide range of interpolators from MusicDSP.org, Paul Bourke, and Olli Niemitalo. Wikipedia In signal processing, sampling is the reduction of a continuous-time signal to a discrete-time…

It is rare that anyone would want to circumvent the sin() function, but, there are a few cases where it would be beneficial. This document benchmarks the regular sin() function against a linearly interpolated wavetable, an aliased wavetable, an infinite impulse response sine wave, and seven polynomial approximations of varying…
